I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means - Chapter 255

Chapter 255: Chapter 247 Legendary Accessory [Sphinx’s Wisdom]!

“Sphinx’s Wisdom”?

Lis silently looked at the crown in his hands, feeling its connection to himself.

“This is Master Sphinx’s greatest masterpiece in his lifetime, also encapsulating all his knowledge inheritance.”

“It is a piece of magic jewelry, a legendary-level accessory. However, it doesn’t directly enhance your strength but aids you in the mastery of arcane research.”

“That’s what Master Sphinx told me. I don’t know the specific effects either, and you will have to explore them yourself.”

“After all, I’m not an Arcanist either!”

The Black Cat lay sprawled on Lis’s thigh, saying so nonchalantly.

“Logically speaking, with your current strength, Lis, it would be hard not just to use it, but even to control it.”

“Therefore, Master Sphinx sealed part of its power to help you establish a connection with ‘Sphinx’s Wisdom’. But you don’t need to worry; the seal will gradually unlock as your strength increases.”

Indeed, it’s legendary!

Lis had already felt the connection between the crown in his hands and his own soul, filled with emotion.

This was a piece of legendary equipment, an extremely rare existence.

Every piece of legendary equipment is a treasure of the world, a crystallization of power and wisdom, a coveted existence by all professionals.

Even divine artifacts are not necessarily stronger than legendary equipment in essence; the difference in their power lies more in the divine power that buffs the artifacts.

He hadn’t expected that now, he actually owned a piece of legendary equipment of his own. In his past life, all known legendary equipments had their owners, and no player had their own legendary equipment.

All usage records were from plot missions where it could temporarily be used as an item. But it was precisely because of that, players realized how precious and powerful the contained strength of legendary equipment was.

The Feis Kingdom, powerful as it was, only had one piece of legendary weapon–that longsword in Ya’er’s hands, also the one etched into the royal family crest.

However…

This crown is too conspicuous; it’s not like I can wear it whenever I use it.

Seemingly noticing Lis’s expression, the Black Cat became curious about the reason and thoughtfully said:

“I remember, ‘Sphinx’s Wisdom’ should have the ability to change its form. Master Sphinx never wore it as a crown either; you might want to try it.”

Is that so?

Lis pondered for a moment, immersing his consciousness into “Sphinx’s Wisdom,” and attempted to do so.

After a moment, the silver-white crown turned into a delicate silver-white circular earring, with its center still inlaid with those four colored gemstones; however, in comparison to the crown, it was much smaller in shape, and the magical runes on it turned into a miniaturized version.

Amazing!

This was the first time Lis owned a piece of equipment capable of changing its shape. Legendary equipment was indeed extraordinary.

Wait a minute!

These four gemstones!

Could they be Elemental Origin Gems?

Lis’s pupils dilated slightly as he discovered something he had overlooked before.

The elemental power that radiated from the four-colored gemstones was much purer than the surrounding Magic Elements particles and far surpassed the power of high-level elemental gemstones.

Elemental Origin Gems are produced in only one place in the world–the core origin of the Four Elements Plane, an intensely hidden place where, other than the plane’s master, no one can enter.

And for massive planes like the Element Plane, Shadow Plane, etc., there has never been a master of the plane.

So Origin Gems rarely leave the core origin of a plane, to be obtained by outsiders.

Similar to the drop of Shadow Origin Power that Joyce gave to Lis before, but one Origin Gem is made of the most purified Origin Power, extremely precious and rare. Joyce had mentioned it when introducing it to Lis, and he had never seen an Origin Gem.

Unexpectedly, the gems inlaid in the legendary-level jewelry in his hands were Origin Gems, and not just one, but four corresponding Origin Gems.

Such a grand gesture!

No wonder it could become a piece of legendary equipment!

Lis sighed, casually slipping the earring onto his left ear. His handsome and smart face was framed by the somewhat silvery-white earring, which added a touch of mystery and a noble charm.

The Black Cat, looking at Lis who was fiddling with the earring, spoke up:

“Master Sphinx has left the inheritance all here. Just take your time to study it, and there’s something else I need to remind you of,”

“To prevent the inheritance from being leaked, the Master used his last bit of power to place a prohibition on your memory to prevent it from being read. Likewise, you cannot reveal it voluntarily until…”

“…you’ve reached Legendary status. Once you are there, you’ll have no restrictions in teaching the knowledge from the inheritance to others.”

Is that so?

Lis glanced at the Black Cat in front of him, pondering in his mind.

The Black Cat always referred to the inheritance without specific names. Perhaps it also didn’t know the details of the inheritance, like the existence of the “Sphinx Ascension Technique.”

It’s safer to be careful!

The warnings of the Legendary Arcanist, combined with Lis’s uncertainty about the attitudes of divine beings, convinced him to keep this secret buried deep in his heart for now.

Seeing the Black Cat curled up into a ball on him, sleeping without any further hints, Lis immersed his mind in “Sphinx’s Wisdom,” continuously familiarizing himself and synchronizing with this Legendary-level Accessory.

At the same time, Lis also summoned the system panel to check his recent gains.

Lis looked at the information on the system panel with some pleasantly surprise, silently tallying them up in his mind.

The gains from exploring this Dream Space were far beyond what Lis had imagined before he set out from Bright City.

Although he was essentially in a soul-conscious state during this mission, so all the gains were based on consciousness and soul, this was nevertheless the biggest boost for Lis, who was a Mage.

Especially getting the “Sphinx’s Wisdom,” this Legendary Accessory!

Lis had already examined it thoroughly; in this accessory was stored the entire knowledge and memories of the inheritance left by that Legendary Arcanist.

It was almost like Lis had fully received the mantle of a Legendary Arcanist!
